WILLIAM CLARDY AUSTIN. A. B., CLINTON, S. C. Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 168 lbs. Age 20. Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil O ' er books consumed the midnight oil? AS HE NOW IS: Entered college 1911.

AS HE WILL BE 1925: The fortune of a Peerless Leader next drew my attention, and I thought of W. C. Austin. Bill was the Peerless Leader of his class for four years at P. C, and later graduated with first honor from the medical school of John Hopkins. Just five years ago he finished a course in the culture of beauty at the Parisian School of Facial Embellishment, and today his services are eagerly sought by the belles of the now flourishing metropolis of South Carolina — Clinton. His masterly knowledge of Chemistry, and his exhaustive researches in Biology have been valuable assets to his much needed services.

Of right and wrong he taught Truths as refined as ever Athens heard; And (strange to tell) he practiced what he preached. AS HE NOW IS: Entered college 1 9 I I .

AS HE WILL BE 1925 : The events in the life of the next man flash quickly before my mind, and I now review the career of W. P. Anderson. Little Andy has developed from the brilliant (?) student of Economics and Philosophy to a power in the Real Estate business, and dictates his affairs from his private office on the nth floor of the Pride of Greenville — the Anderson Building. William early fell a victim to a wide spread disease contracted during his Sophomore year. His attack proved fatal soon after he reached seniority, and he can now turn from the busy marts of trade and find a solace for his cares in his handsome residence on North Pendleton, presided over by the former Miss (?).

AS HE WILL BE 1925: A hero of the diamond in his college days, and one who always had the old pep, J. T. Ballenger, next comes to my mind. At present Speedy handles the pill with the same old vim, only in a new aspect, as he now hands it over the counter in the biggest pharmacy in his native State, to suffering humanity. His interest in this particular line of business was born of his devoted attendance at the Clinton Pharmacy for three years, during which time he never allowed his studies to cause his neglect of that reviving fountain. He manages his business from his office in the rear, but in turn is managed by one who seven years ago robbed him of his freedom, and who since has never lost control over the reins of government.
